Real Dan Lyons on Apple's Map Spin

VPN and Webmail are down, so I'm Dead In the Water (DIW) this morning.

When it comes to technology, don't take anything I say about anything as a "fanboy" approach. I like what I like and I don't like what I don't like and I try to be objective about it when I can. I also try to be honest on matters that are subjective.

This is pure Apple. They knew — had to know — when they first showed off the new maps earlier this year that the app was a piece of shit. How could they not know? So they did what Apple always does, which is to go out full-blast saying that this new maps app was the bestest, smartest, superduperest maps app ever created in the history of mankind.
